Parents can now feel more assured. SNEC and SERI recently published the Atropine Treatment Long-Term Assessment Study (Atlas), the first study of its kind on the long-term safety of atropine eye drops. It found that atropine eye drops, used to treat myopia in children in Singapore since the 1990s, is safe with no complications 10 to 20 years after treatment. This research builds upon two earlier studies, Atom 1 and Atom 2, which involved 400 children each and laid the foundation for Atlas. A/Prof Marcus Ang, Head, Corneal & External Eye Disease and Refractive Surgery Departments, SNEC and A/Prof Audrey Chia, Head, Paediatric Ophthalmology & Adult Strabismus Department, SNEC, discussed the study's significance. Atropine eye drops works by slowing down the progress of myopia in children. Singapore’s myopia rates are high with 9 in 10 adults expected to be myopic by 2050 and up to a quarter of them may have high myopia. These study results assure parents and practitioners alike, that atropine eye drops is a safe and effective treatment option for childhood myopia.

New Original Research article for RRH: Creating a sustainable rural general surgery workforce: what enables fellows to return as rural general surgeons? by Jessica Paynter, Kirby Qin, Christine Cuthbertson, Janelle Brennan. https://lnkd.in/gqKWcQMz There is an undersupply of general surgeons in rural Australia and in rural areas worldwide. Although other medical specialties, including general practice, obstetrics and gynaecology, ophthalmology and emergency medicine, have established rural training schemes in Australia, general surgeons undertaking their 1–3 years of subspecialty Post-Fellowship Education and Training (known as ‘fellowships’) are largely limited to metropolitan institutions and no accredited rural surgical training is funded by the federal government. Despite funding limitations, a rural general surgery fellowship was established in Bendigo, a rural town in central Victoria, in 2011. This Original Research article reviews Bendigo Health’s general surgical fellowship program to determine if rural general surgery fellowships can assist in sustaining a rural general surgery workforce. #ruralhealth #ruralsurgery #ruralhealth Monash University Bendigo Health
